JAKARTA - Minister of Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (P2MI), Abdul Kadir Karding admitted that he did not deny suggestions and input from many parties regarding the plan to revoke the moratorium on the placement of migrant workers to Saudi Arabia.
The suggestions and inputs referred to regarding caution and protection emphasis for migrant workers from Indonesia.
"From some parties, we must be careful so that our community does not open this later, so there are many new problems that arise," said Karding when met after a meeting with the Minister of Immigration and Corrections at the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections, Monday, April 21.
The Ministry of P2MI, continued Karding, continues to find a middle ground, one of which is discussing with the DPR and related parties, including from the Government of Saudi Arabia. The goal is that the potential for placement of migrant workers there is also good, safe and protected.
"So it must be opened (placement to Saudi Arabia) because it will create jobs," he said.
"Taking the place by making an agreement with Saudi Arabia is actually carrying out protection," continued Karding.

The reason is that there are 195,000 Indonesian migrant workers who are not registered as procedural workers. Thus, their safety must also be considered.
"We will accelerate. We just have to find a middle way. The important thing is that the protection for our migrant workers is good," said Karding.
On various occasions, Karding emphasized that the Ministry of P2MI wants the opening of a moratorium on the placement of Indonesian migrant workers in Saudi Arabia to be right on target with the focus on improving the governance of the Indonesian Migrant Workers Placement Company (P3MI).
If the moratorium is opened, the Government of Saudi Arabia promises 600 thousand jobs for the people of Indonesia.
The details are 400,000 people for domestic workers, 250 thousand for workers with abilities/skills.
